About me

Yuki Compston

My Therapeutic Approach

My path to becoming a therapist has been enriched by my diverse life experiences.

Before transitioning to counselling, I worked in the corporate world and lived across three continents - Asia, Europe, and North America. This international background has given me a deep appreciation for cultural nuances and the unique ways we all navigate life's challenges.

As a Relational Transactional Analysis practitioner, I believe that understanding our patterns of relating - to ourselves and others - is key to personal growth.

This approach helps us explore:

  • How past experiences shape current relationships

  • Patterns that may be limiting your growth

  • Ways to develop more fulfilling connections

  • Strategies for lasting positive change

My style is collaborative, and focused on creating a safe space where you can explore your experiences without judgment.
